While we were researching we ran into the question “What does it mean when I receive a Blackbaud warning?”.
In most cases, it means that core functions are not working properly, or there is some other serious customer-impacting event underway. Warn notifications are used when Blackbaud is undergoing a non-critical issue like minor service issues, performance degradation, non-core bugs, capacity issues, or problems affecting a small number of users.

Why was blackbaud hacked?
Blackbaud, one of the world’s largest providers of financial and fundraising technology to nonprofits, was hacked and paid a ransom to have the hijacked data destroyed by the cybercriminals. Was victim of a ransomware attack and had some customer data taken.
The hack on its self-hosted environment lasted from February 7, until it was discovered by Blackbaud on May 20. During that time, the threat actors stole sensitive data from donors, potential donors, patients, community members with relationships with the entity, and other individuals tied to the impacted organizations.
It referred the BBC to a statement on its website: “In May of 2020, we discovered and stopped a ransomware attack. Prior to our locking the cyber-criminal out, the cyber-criminal removed a copy of a subset of data from our self-hosted environment.” The statement goes on to say Blackbaud paid the ransom demand.
One of the affected institutions told the BBC the hack is affecting a product called Net. Community which Blackbaud describes on its website as an ‘alumni engagement and management software system for nonprofits.’.
